Coordination Powers Craft: The Energy Perspective
High-end residential architecture thrives on coordination. Our true value emerges when we collaborate early and deeply with architects and builders, ensuring that technology supports the architecture rather than competes with it.
This project stands as a vivid reminder that integrated design isn’t simply a concept; it’s a discipline that is powered by precision, communication, and cross-trade trust.

A Collective Effort, Executed with Architectural Intent
This project and system definitely came with challenges: it was complex, nuanced, and deeply interdependent. And there were hiccups along the way. But through collaboration and commitment, the team delivered a power ecosystem that supports the architecture rather than competes with it.
This was a collective build, with multiple Premiere Systems teams in action:
Solar panels under the unforgiving Florida summer sun, anchoring the system’s relationship to the environment.
Design iterations with Savant, navigating a novel implementation until every detail aligned with both performance and intent.
On-site, rewiring and resolving unanticipated conditions as the construction narrative evolved.
Maneuvering 32 fifty-pound batteries up ladders and into a loft. This was an effort as physical as it was technical, ensuring the infrastructure could support the architectural vision above it.
This is what integrated collaboration looks like: gritty, yet design-focused and coordinated.

The Impact of Working as One
On this project, we used all of our technical expertise, professionalism, and problem-solving mindsets that carried the project forward. When every discipline shows up with this attitude, the architecture benefits. The client feels it. The trades feel it. And the final built environment stands stronger for it.
Moments like these reinforce who we are at Premiere Systems and what we bring to design teams:
the ability to take on something big, new, and exquisitely complex—and execute it without compromising the integrity of the architecture or the experience of the client.
Where Architecture and Integration Meet
As architects increasingly design homes where energy, lighting, shading, and environmental systems interlock, the need for strong integrator collaboration becomes essential. Projects like this one demonstrate the truth:
When all trades coordinate with intention, the architecture reaches its full potential.
And when integrators and architects design side by side, the result isn’t just a successful project—it’s a unified experience.
To everyone involved: well done. And thank you.
